wow the atlantic season is so close! It is hard to think that in a month I may be studying satellite pics, models, etc. as I watch a TS forming in the Gulf. It feels like last season just ended.

It feels like last season just ended... because it pretty much did. Who would've ever thought we'd be tracking a storm while we were ringing in the new year at the same time? 2005 was just that crazy. I don't think any season will ever top what 2005 was like, but we'll see what 2006 can do.

Lets see how that blob will do in the Hurricane Season. Will it become Aletta or will we have to wait longer? That is the question.
